puffy's Rainbow in the Dark

Bad Bitch Summer

Miami Spice

It's been quite some time since I've posted a mix, but I've decided to get back in the habit of it. Over the past years, I've recorded many mixes, but was held back by posting them due to various imperfections. "Don't let the perfect get in the way of the necessary!" a mentor of mine used to say. So, let's get back to it with this lovely chill house mix.

This mix is dedicated to two incredible people, Dave and Amy, who live their lives in a perpetual embrace of love, creativity, celebration and freedom. These are some of the tracks I played for them in a magical place, out of time, out of reality, out in space, and full of love. I'm grateful for generous people like you who honor and support artists in their craft. 

You could call this a Paul Simon sandwich.

Also sending love to the legendary Joegh Bullock, my dear friend and mentor who passed this year. Now you're swimming in the Sea of Dreams and dancing in the Mystic Beat Lounge. I hope it's everything you imagined, as your imagination was infinite.

FREE HIGH QUALITY DOWNLOAD - Welcome to dreamtrap. The BootsTrap mix is a bass-heavy excursion into the the evolving horizon of deep trap music where we'll explore the emerging style of chill, beautiful songs - infused with the hip-hop inspired bass beats that make trap what it is. This mix was specially crafted to make the use out of your subwoofers, so if you have bass in your soundsystem - turn it up. If you've tried trap music before and it's not for you, I urge you to give this sub-genre a shot. It's quite different than the usual in-your-face eardrum-wompers you've heard before.

BootsTrap Vol. 2 - (Chill Trap Mixtape)

This is a DJ mix that has been in the works for many years. After finally compiling my collection of reggae mashups and remixes, I discovered that I had enough great music for more than one mix, so here is volume one. Rasta Rediscovered is an exploration of Reggae through Mashups, Bootlegs, remixes & rare re-creations. This eclectic mix of Reggae mashups and strange re-creations bring together many musical genres under the familiar bass lines and beloved riddims of Jah Music. This is a live mix by yours truly.

Mystic Boot Lounge - Volume 1

For this episode, I'm very happy to introduce you to a BC duo: Naturalist. I first came across them from their excellent mix series and they've quickly become some of my favourite DJs in the BC interior. Their mix is a beautiful mix of melodies and worldly influences. 

"We were really excited about the opportunity to do this mix because it allowed us to dive into a deeper sound than we are used to. The idea was to bring to life the joys of being in nature. We tried to dive down a new path, while still incorporating our natural sounds. "
